1. Dark Orderly Conduct

While obviously not to the extent of Brodie Lee's Celebration of Life, last night's Dark felt like an ascendent evening for the Dark Order, who were victorious in each of their bouts - looking strong in the process.

Alan Angels, Pres10 Vance, Evil Uno, Stu Grayson, and Colt Cabana combined to beat Shawn Dean and Danny Limelight's jobber army in a fun 10-man tag. Unsurprisingly, Dean and Limelight were the enhancement talents given most of the shine, though the bout didn't go long and ended when Adam Priest fell victim to the Order's big move buffet. Later, the stable's Recruitment Specialists, John Silver and Alex Reynolds, bashed through KC Navarro (who bumped like a maniac) and the debuting El Australiano. Reynolds took the pin via Fisherman's Buster.

Most effective of all was Anna Jay's squash of Alexa Gracia. Emerging from the heel tunnel while Tay Conti came out of the babyface side, '99' controlled 'The Pink Dream' after the parity window closed within the first few seconds, running through and over Gracia with Dangerous J kicks, a grounded blockbuster, and the Queenslayer for the win.

Where the Order goes next is anyone's guess, but this was a strong night for them.
